Package Pricing

Package pricing gives you the flexibility to charge per block of units or usage, and lets you define your package size. For example, if you charge customers $10 for every 1,000 API calls, the package size is 1,000 units.

How packages are counted? Chargebee bills in whole packages. Within each tier, usage is rounded up to the next whole package. Package Pricing Example (OpenAI – GPT-5): Package size: 1M tokens. Price: $1.25 per package.

  • 1,000,000 tokens = 1 package = $1.25
  • 10 tokens = 1 package (minimum) = $1.25
  • 1,500,000 tokens = 2 packages = $2.50

Note:

  • Package pricing can be set for metered items(plan or addon).
  • Currently, package pricing is available for tiered, volume based pricing models(plans and addons) only.

Enabling Package Pricing

Note:

Request access to enable package pricing on your site.

Configure Package Pricing

To configure package pricing for a tiered or volume-based plan or addon:

  1. Select the checkbox Allow advanced pricing configurations for this item.
  2. Define the Package Size for each tier. For example: If a customer consumes 350 units, the total payable amount is $800.

Limitations

  • The package size does not sync with Chargebee's native integrations, such as Sales, Finance, and others. However, all other integration-related functions are supported.
  • The package size is not displayed on hosted pages, such as checkout and self-serve portals.
